Box office hit! Film shatters lies about Vietnam

It’s is a vividly accurate, cutting-edge film about one of the most shockingly misunderstood wars in American history – and it took Westminster, California, by storm when it premiered there this month, selling more than $30,000 in tickets in just three days during its limited release at a single movie theater.

Overall, the film brought in $50,923 in a week of showings at the Regency Westminster 10 theater from March 27 to April 2.

The film profits will support four charities: Semper Fi Fund, Agape International Missions, Field of Dreams and Allegiant Giving.

“I’ve been waiting 40 years for this film!” was a common refrain among the Vietnam War veterans and the South Vietnamese Americans – most with tears streaming down their faces – who gathered to witness their powerful story finally making it onto the big screen at the wildly popular premiere of “Ride the Thunder: A Vietnam War Story of Victory and Betrayal.”

There are plenty of vets out there that know the truth. Sold down the river by lies and deceit by leftist liberals and the major networks. But that's redundant. I notice just below the header Chelsea says maybe the lyin' king ought to see it. Pointless. But I seem to remember him saying one time when asked about military service that he did think about it but since Viet Nam was over he didn't feel there was much point in joining. Owwww. Ain't he the badass. Too bad there won't be wide distribution of this film. Guess it'll have to wait for dvd or paypervue for most to see it. As far as "vividly" accurate, each viewer will have to decide that for themselves.

Maybe Jon f’n Cary should get a private screening...

Walter Cronkite was the worst of them.

Why would he need to see it. You probably don't know this, but John Kerry went to Vietnam.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I thought he was an Admiral in the Camboat Navy.

[ExTxMarine]

I'm not sure, but I have heard rumors that Kerry was in Vietnam or somewhere.

I'll see if I can find any CREDIBLE references to him being in Vietnam. If I find them, I might email them to you.

Don’t you mean the much revered ‘the war is lost’ wally concrete?

[DPMD]

If I remember correctly from his description of his heroics, he used an assault rifle to murder an unarmed teen of color in that teen’s own hood, then split and bragged about it.

Naw. He should see it with some Ranger and Marine vets from his time "in country".

Thanks for the thread...I had not heard of it, and will find a way to see it.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Naw...his face is already a mess.

[New Perspective]

Found a pic of him in night combat.

I was a radio intercept op in C-47s listening to the NV radio ops. Mostly it was 3 digit code but in the aftermath of the post Tết and post Tết offensive rolling disaster for the Communists there was some desperate clear speech because the code books were destroyed and the code ops were dead. America WON the war in 1968 if we had pressed the advantage. Instead we stood down in sympathy with the poor harried VC who needed some R&R time which we gave them. Hà Nội went from worrying about survival to understanding that America wanted to eventually give it all over to them.

I still consider Walter Cronkite to the the biggest reason for our failure in Vietnam. He, with one news broadcast and opinion, managed to snatch communist defeat from the jaws of victory!

[Resettozero]

I still consider Walter Cronkite to the the biggest reason...

Before that, the great Ed Murrow's handling of the McCarthy hearings paved the way for Communism to flourish in ALL the media; the media that never has faltered since to preach that brand of Socialism and scorn Americanism.

Naw. He should see it with some Ranger and Marine vets from his time "in country".

That, is a capital idea.
